Greater Cambridge Housing Trajectory and Five Year Housing Land Supply - Main Document

Representation ID: 168417

Received: 14/10/2019

Respondent: Abbey Properties Cambridgeshire Limited

Representation Summary:

It is disappointing that the document makes no allowance for the use of the housing figure for either Council (or a combined one) which could be calculated from the use of the standard methodology for housing need: such an approach is advocated under paragraph 60 of the NPPF.

We would have expected this to be included if only to provide a potential scenario arising from an alternative approach. By our calculation the housing need for South Cambridgeshire would be 1,113 dwellings per year which is a considerable increase to the 975 dwellings per annum which is assumed within the document.
